No more audio or video starting automatically when opening a website.

Media starts automatically anyway.

I can confirm this behaviour.

I considere this a severe security issue.

Web-pages have access to blocked features, services or devices of the mobile - this should never ever happen. What else slips through unnoticed?

We put a patch for it see #8987, are you able to reproduce in nightly?

It seams to be fixed in nightly atm. At least with my example from above.

I will proceed to close the issue, please feel free to re open if needed

@sophiekuehn thanks for the report. Are you able to reproduce on nightly? I tested on it, and I wasn't able to reproduce, please let us know if the issue persist.

@Amejia481 i can't even reproduce it today in the regular build. Something needs to have happened on the example webpage itself. Yesterday the video was playing automatically on regular and nightly. Fancy.

I noticed that auto play is somehow still not blocked when e.g. a news site is opened through google news. Sadly i can't deeplink to the exact state, in which there is still a google header with the link back and share button.

If i copy the deeplink or open the site directly the blockage is working:
